I have W2K workstations logging onto a W2K domain. I need to know if there is a way on individual workstations to setup a policy to log off users automatically after a certian period of time. I don't want this to be done through their domain ID. I want this to be done through the local policy. It also needs to be able to do a force close of all programs running. If this is not possible with native W2K, then please recommend a software that does do this.

Thanks in advance,
Bra-k

First, you don't say anything about what kind of logging your users use. If they logon locally - you can't do such a thing. If they logon the domain, in your Active Directory - users definition - account you can setup lot of security (hours - date -what computer to use etc.). About the force close of the programs running - when the logoff is initialise all the programs will be shutdown.
